England's home ground is Wembley Stadium, London, and its training headquarters is at St George's Park, Burton upon Trent. Gareth Southgate is the current manager of the team.
England won the 1966 World Cup final on home soil, making it one of eight nations to have won the World Cup. They have qualified for the World Cup sixteen times, with their next best performance fourth-place finishes in the 1990 and 2018 editions. England has never won the European Championship, with their best performance to date being runners-up in 2020. As a constituent country of the United Kingdom, England is not a member of the International Olympic Committee and so does not compete at the Olympic Games. England is currently the only team to have won the World Cup at senior level, but not their major continental title, and the only non-sovereign entity to have won the World Cup.<\/P>","B9284411187FEFF20D941F8E3FDF6E1E":"England,Ireland","F3825434658EC407":"","9B2CF1B8E224CFD097332B024E65EDED":"18","691614162C53789F7BF95A6EBC086644":"","0192D11C6FFC52B1FA5A279107C4769C":"Lee Carsley","798114606EDBEE4E25243C6C8C1B5714":"England(U21),England(U20),Manchester City(U18),Brentford(U21)","473E4F49EDE372FCCD98814B96C64159":"Wembley Stadium","5BAF7C8A60756B540D834B0A0F0B7C9C":"0","781CC09C30E6A152":"1","02EB7DF46653B329":"England","64A2290C09C50CF35B7DBD9C8F3A2F5E":"","5B70C105C09228B419825F9D2D3BB765":"","94A63A88C13097EB":"London","0108B3B67855A673":"13","64CC7FC06580777C":"Lee Carsley","5F7B7520852B84068F743240139E0997":"
